One day I walked out my doorway I was young, younger than today I couldn't believe what was happening before my eyes People running screamin' runnin' and a fire lightin' up the sky Well my daddy rode the train to take him to the factory Where he slaved eatin' shit to save my mama and me Now the sirens kee a-comin' and I heard somebody say 140 people were ridin' that train today Wreck of the 809 I couldn't believe what was happening before my eyes People running screamin' runnin' and a fire lightin' up the sky Well the crowd thinned out several hours later And I asked a policeman about my daddy was he alright Then I saw my mama crying and I heard somebody say 107 people won't be comin' back home today Wreck of the 809
